Security

SSID: NETWI
Is the Wireless Mesh secure ?

Security is a key part of the LocustWorld Wireless Mesh. As wireless networking is so potentially open to security compromises, we have built the Mesh with heavy duty security from the start. Each node on the network has a signed digital certificate, which is used to communicate with other nodes. When nodes establish communication they verify the identity of the other node through their certificate, and set up an encrypted data stream between nodes using a 2048 bit key. In addition nodes make a VPN connection with their gateway that is also encrypted, making it doubly hard to break in to. In addition NETWI encourages users to utilize encryption wherever possible.
